Transition to the Cloud
Assess, Optimise, and Deliver through clear design and solid execution
A deliberate approach is critical in the shift from legacy to cloud. Three key things count in particular:
- Cost and Risk Optimisation:
Well-designed security can lead to better resource utilisation, reduced need for extensive physical infrastructure, and scalable solutions. - Business Continuity and Business Agility:
A secure cloud strategy enhances business resilience by offering a variety of superior disaster recovery capabilities. - Risk Mitigation and Compliance:
Recent major ransomware and malware events stemming from poor configuration/integration with cloud adoption has led to further tightening of regulations.

Cyber Security in Numbers
$9.5tr
Cybercrime costs predicted for 2024.
$4.45m
The global average cost per data breach as of 2023; as so many incidents go unreported, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
$215bn
Expected to be spent on information security & risk management products and services in 2024.
"A missing hyphen sent the Mariner 1—the first American spacecraft to attempt an exploration of Venus—off-course, forcing NASA to destroy its $150 million spacecraft 294 seconds after launch."
